Simple Simple String Question
When I take the input from a textarea and insert it into a mysql-base and then retrieve it and show it, all the line feeds/breaks are gone.
It is shown as one giant string. How can this be fixed, so the text will be shown as it was entered? Does it have something to do with stripslashes/addslashes or am I way off?

Simple Script For Doing A Simple Photo Album And Journal?
I'm looking to quickly get a photo album online. Very simple, thumbnails, a few pages, maybe a description, but hopefully a small script that's easy to edit and work into my existing site. I know about hot scripts, etc. but I was wondering if any one could recommend one? Secondly, I also want to setup a journal. It's not really a "blog" although I guess blog software may work. But it isn't going to be a message board or anything like that. Just a place to put out random bits of news. Once again, same premise, I'm trying to find the most simple script possible that could basically traverse a directory of simple textfiles and produce a list. I know all about Blosxom and stuff like that, but I'd like a script that just did the above and didn't overtake my site like PHPNuke or something like that. I'll probably roll my own, but I thought I'd check first.

Simple String Replacement
If I have the following array... <?php $parameters = array( 'store="{STORE}"' => '$tags['stores'][{STORE}]', 'for="{QUESTION}"' => 'box_send("{QUESTION}");' ); ?> I would like that from a string, PHP could replace it. For example... $string = 'My string and for="MY STUFF" wohooo!' Is there anyway that from that array PHP would turn this string into: $resulting_string = 'My string and box_send("MY STUFF");' I have been googling and php.net'ing for two days now, and after many attempts and observation of other scripts, I couldn't make it.

Simple Query String Not Passing
I've been messing with PHP for a few months now, and have some basics down. However, I thought I understood this issue, but here I am posting... <heavy sigh>. Two files: register.php which is the form to allow a user to register with the site, and success.php which does the form validation, etc. If invalid input is found, I'm using the code below to go back to the register page. @header("Location: http://url/register.php?id=1"); The id is examined in a switch statement on the register page to generate a message on the register form telling the user exactly what field the problem occurred in. Here's the problem: The id value is not being passed in the redirect. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Simple Question On String Extraction
I'm having to modify a PHP script even though I have little knowledge of PHP itself. The script extracts specific strings from an html file, and I need to it extract some further information. Specifically, each file represents an article written by an author. The author's name is typically preceded by a 'By' or a 'by', then it goes on till there's a carriage return. So for example, the file might contain something like this: The Need For Regeneration by <b>John Smith</b> We have seen the waste that has been produced.... (rest of article) or How To Make Lots and Lots of Money Writing PHP by The Supreme Coder The first thing you need to know about making money is... (rest of article) So I need code that will start searching the file from the beginning for the words 'by ' or 'By ', then grab everything that follows that until it gets to a new line and assign that to a variable. In the examples I have given above, it would grab '<b>John Smith</b>' and 'The Supreme Coder'. I've seen a function called preg_match which might do the job, but it uses regular expressions which I have little knowledge of. Would any person be so kind as to post what arguments I would need to call this function with?

Simple String To Date Question
I have dates like "8/27" or "9/4", and I need to convert them to date objects. When choosing a year, we should go backwards until we find the first match. That is, if the script runs on Jan 1, 2008 and encounters the string "8/27", it should return a date for "8/27/2007". I've been playing around with strtodate and some other functions but I can't figure this out, and as there must be a simple solution I'd like to avoid writing a custom function.

Simple PHP IF, ELSE IF
the levels staff and member have been defined on another page to determine a users access level. What i want to do is pretty obvious, if a staff member has logged in then it shows different content to when a member is logged in, and if nobody has logged in, it shows a generic login message. <?php if ($_SESSION['level'] == "staff") { ?> <p><b>Welcome staff member <br /> <a href="../chooseupdate.php"> <?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?> </a> you're logged in.</b> <? } elseif ($_SESSION['level'] == "member") { ?> <p><b>Welcome user member <br /> <a href="../memberspage.php"> <?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?> </a> you're logged in.</b> <? } else { ?> <p><b>You are not Logged in!</b> <a href="../login.php">Log in</a> to check your messages.<br /> Do you want to <a href="../login.php">Log in</a> or <a href="../register.php">register</a>?</p> <? } ?> Now when i add to this a page, i get the error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end" Happens with this one aswell <?php if ($_SESSION['loginFlag'] == 1) { ?> <p>Would you like to log-out? <a href="../log-out.php">Log-out</a> </p> <? } else { ?> <p>Please <a href="../login.php" class="style2" accesskey="6"><strong>[6]</strong>Sign in</a> or <a href="../register.php" class="style2" accesskey="7"><strong>[7]</strong>Register</a></p><? } ?> Now, I'm positive this worked on my colleges server, so it's got me thinking that maybe my php.ini file is messed up? Because this is also happening with my log-out file also, which is; <? // you must start session before destroying it session_start(); session_destroy(); sleep(1); header( 'Location: login.php' ) ; ?> On my college server it works perfectly, at home it just loads the log-out.php page and doesn't redirect back to login.php, it also doesn't destroy the session.# My php.ini is basically the default one, i got with WAMP. Except i enabled the header command to be used. Thanks in advance.

Simple Bit Of PHP - HELP!
I have a site for use by some freinds, its basically a privacy proxy,but I want it to be password protected and have to get them to agree to terms and conditions. I have an index.php page in a subdomain, that has a short list of terms and conditions. I want them to have to check a box to say they agree & then also enter just a password to continue. It doesn't need to be secure. The password can be one for all. It would be good if it was all contained in the one Index file. Then when both the tick box and checkbox is checked it takes you onto a difficult domain that can't be remembered. Does that make sense? It would be good if a pop up said that you need to agree to the terms if the check box is not checked and a different message is a password is not entered or is incorrect.

Simple Mark-up For CMS

Simple URLs
I want to have a lot of control over my short urls.

All short URL examples I have seen take the original URL and directly translate it. In may case, the short URL scheme would have to query the database. I would like my forum to function similarly. That is, forum posts and forum pages would have forum category and post title in the short URL. Anyone know how to do advacned simple URLs of this sort? I really like how this forum does short urls actually. I can't imagine this is done with mod_rewrite() since the simple urls appear to be generated dynamically based on database calls.

Some Simple Security
I want to be able to add some simple security to one of my pages, basically my page allows users to submit a text field which gets parsed into MySQL db and displayed on other pages. At the moment anyone can submit text which opens the page to abuse. I don't want to implement a user login system. I had envisaged the addition of a password entry box which the Submit button checks against the db before proceeding, so if any user has the correct password then they can submit. Having never done password stuff before, could somebody please point me in the right direction?

Simple Parser In PHP?

I've never done it myself, but I know they are not as mysterious as they may seem, it's a matter of finding the tools. The idea is to take something like CSS format, except that it allows nesting, and turn it into associative arrays, such as: anykey { property: value; property: value; nestedkey { property: value; property: value; } } could be processed by a command like: <?php $parsed = ParseMyFile(...) ?> and $parsed would hold the same as if we'd done this: $arr = array( anykey("property"=>"value",...

Simple Ereg Help
I need two ereg expressions in my PHP code. One of them needs to check that a string only contains letters, and the other needs to check that the string only contains letters and commas (only one comma at each time). I thought that the code for only containing letters would be: eregi("^([a-z])", $keywords); But this only appears to be checking the first character. I also have no idea how to do the one that also allows commas (though not for lack of trying - believe me!) So, basically, I want one expression that only lets in letters: ie. hyasdlhlasdhl but not fhdilfd7800asdads;' and one expression that only lets in letters and commas (one at a time): ie. hasiaks,asdas,adsads but not hdasl,,ahodsa,ads
